Hi Brian, thanks for the tips.

Decided to remove the motor and have a look if there were any obvious problems. When I took the motor cover off, the internal components and circut board were covered in muck and a couple of the parts were rusting. I'm guessing that's gonna cause some problems with it with it working properly.
The washer jets on the arm were blocked a while ago, so obvioulsy the screen wash was leaking into the motor assembly. I've tried to clean it out and left it to dry to see if it'll work, but I'm assuming the damage is already done and it's time to replace it.
